It’ll take years to phase in “diverse” congressmen.

@Jacob I'm more concerned with self doxxing

If any of you are interested, I can upload some of my assignments. I'm pretty hardcore in them.

I hope she wouldn't give a bad grade, but she warned us she would report any in appropriate discussion

I had a similar question to yours last quarter. My argument was that minorities are largely here because the founding stock let them come here, so we don't have any obligation to guarantee them representation.

But, again, I don't know what your school is like

So I'm not necessarily saying you should risk it

That's ballsy to write in college, to be honest

You can always try being really literal, and kind of avoid the question. I don't know what the essence of the assignment is

@Nicholas1166 - NY very ballsy indeed. The teacher is black, and we have a pretty diverse group of thought.

It's for a government class

Do you want to represent your views, or are you full incognito and just want to do the assignment?

I've gotten perfect grades on all my reading notes in my cultural studies class, and this is what I've written about:
> Colonization is not the source of poverty in Africa, and did not make Europeans rich
> Segregation did not make blacks poor
> If we have to ensure minority representation, do we have to ensure white representation?

Last quarter I did a speech on why mass immigration sucks and got a good grade. This quarter I'm doing another one.

I also challenged my professor and argued that there is a biological basis for race, and had the whole class gang up on my. I have audio if anyone is curious.

I think that qualifies for beast mode chief

My school let in so many chinese students that I don't even have to redpill, they're doing it for me

That being said, every campus is different. My school is right wing enough that their won't be too much backlash, and a large part of my social life is IE, so I don't care if students judge me for my beliefs. You might have good reasons to care, and you shoudn't put that at risk just to be a badass.

@Jacob - could you brief me, or give me a good, concise resource on your colonization point so I can use that argument and back it up?

No, you're absolutely right. You need to have a read on your audience

I can post the document if you would like @Aleis⊕ccidentalis

My campus is very left wing

That'd be great!

I largely built on Ryan Faulk's work

thanks so much. I go to an overwhelmingly Liberal university and I need more intellectual ammo for when I cause tension in the classroom

@Aleis⊕ccidentalis Just be careful. I don't want to make it sound like everyone should do it just because I did it. My campus is largely apolitical, and fairly right wing. I don't know if I would have risked all this at a different school.

You've got a unique writing style, really cuts straight to the point. I wonder if those statistics (development, infant mortality, etc.) vary depending on the colonizing nation. For example, I wonder if British colonies, as a collective whole, fared better than Belgian or French ones

Yes, I believe they do, though I don't remember exactly

Absolutely...so far I've been great about masking myself until an appropriate time to strike. Especially if I can put it in a way that sounds appealing to Leftists

oh I do that, too, sometimes

it's good to find common ground with them

It can be a lot of fun to use their own values against them. I like to talk about how immigration harms the third world through brain drain.

I think creating waterproof arguments for our idea is pretty vital, although there's one possible confliction I've noticed within the argument. Overall, I think it's a good piece, I'm just playing devil's advocate here. It would make sense that a colonizing nation would hold onto colonies containing valuable natural resources for longer durations of time. It also makes sense that they would send some of their own natives to create a stable government, loyal to the home nation. These colonies would be held onto most fiercely, and might be the last do decolonize. Since they are so resource rich, they naturally have better GDP outcomes than sparse colonies that were abandoned earlier

I recently brought up how the demand for institutional diversity actually dilutes the identity of minority groups, and how it forces them to live amongst people they don't want to be around, rather than a homogeneous community of their own kind.

@Nicholas1166 - NY Ryan addresses that in his video. I don't remember the exact data, but, as an example, South Africa was pretty barren before it got settled, and it's way more advanced than other African countries.

With regards to that homework question, I'd simply point out that majority black districts have almost exclusively black representatives, so it's not surprising that, when most districts and states are majority white, they'll mostly have white representatives
